This blurb introduces Cyclopath to users in Colorado. Please feel free to copy & paste and send to your friends in that part of the world!



We are very excited to announce that Cyclopath, the popular bicycle route-finding system and geographic wiki, is now available in a second region: the Denver-Boulder metro area!

Why is Cyclopath cool? First, we offer personalized bicycle routes. You can enter personal bikeability ratings for roads and trails, and this unique rating system helps find the best routes for you while also supporting the community with your individual knowledge.

Second, Cyclopath is a geowiki: an editable map where anyone can share notes about roads and trails, enter tags about special locations, and fix map problems like missing trails -- and these changes are available immediately to other users! Hundreds of cyclists in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota are already doing this (the Twin Cities map has been revised by users over 12,000 times), making Cyclopath the most comprehensive and up-to-date bicycle information resource in the world.

Please help us test this new instance -- with your help, we're confident that Cyclopath will be the best and most useful bicycle navigation resource in Colorado.

Because Cyclopath Colorado is still in testing, you may encounter a bumpy ride from time to time. Some of these issues are simply software bugs (tell us if you find any, and we'll fix them as fast as we can), but much of it has to do with the map itself, which you and anyone else in the community can help improve. We are recording these issues at:
